PREFACE 

This  manual  is  a  guide,  designed  primarily  to  help  library  assistants,  library  school  students, 
college  students,  teachers,  and  users  of  libraries  in  general,  in  gaining  a  knowledge  of  reference 
books  quickly.  It  does  not  pretend  to  be  complete.  The  reference  books  and  bibliographies 
included  in  this  list  are  necessarily  limited,  first,  to  those  of  a  strictly  reference  character,  and, 
secondly,  to  the  most  useful  works  in  the  English  language,  with  some  exceptions  in  other  lan- 
guages. It  is  obviously  impossible,  without  exceeding  the  limits  of  one  volume,  to  include  all 
of  the  important  works  of  reference  in  foreign  languages,  which,  though  often  of  more  value 
than  the  corresponding  English  books,  still  are  of  restricted  use  owing  to  the  comparatively 
small  number  of  readers  of  foreign  languages  who  frequent  our  libraries. 

Reference  books  which  are  limited  to  the  use  of  the  specialist  have  been  in  like  manner  usu- 
ally omitted.  Out-of-print  books  have  occasionally  been  mentioned  because  they  are  to  be 
found  in  the  older  libraries.  It  sometimes  happens  that  the  best  reference  book  on  a  subject  is 
out  of  print. 

Almost  all  books  of  reference  possess  defects  as  well  as  merits;  it  is  difficult  indeed  to  find 
one  that  is  perfect.  At  the  same  time  they  are  essential  to  a  well-equipped  library.  The 
annotations  of  the  titles  herein  contained  are  largely  of  a  descriptive  character,  showing  for 
what  purposes  the  books  mentioned  are  especially  useful. 

Besides  cyclopedias  and  dictionaries  which  give  direct  aid,  the  reader  will  have  to  consult 
more  elaborate  treatises  for  further  information.  Bibliographies  are  guides  to  these.  A  know- 
ledge of  bibliography,  therefore,  forms  an  important  part  in  the  preparation  of  the  student. 
The  most  useful  reference  department  will  include  bibliographies  of  special  subjects  along 
with  the  cyclopedias  of  those  subjects.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  books  belonging  to  the  class 
Bibliography  are  as  a  rule  kept  in  the  cataloger's  room  or  the  librarian's  office,  not  in  the 
reference  department  where  they  would  be  useful  to  the  public.  In  a  large  library,  such  an 
important  printed  catalog  as  that  of  the  Peabody  Institute  Library  and  a  bibliographical  work 
like  the  United  States  catalog  and  supplement,  should  by  all  means  be  kept  where  the  pubhc 
can  have  easy  access  to  them  even  if  it  is  necessary  to  duplicate  such  works. 

This  manual  will  also  serve  as  a  guide  in  the  selection  of  referenco  books  for  a  library.  The 
prices  given  are  the  publishers'  prices,  and  the  lowest  price  is  usually  quoted.  Books  can  often 
be  obtained  at  a  discount  or  picked  up  from  time  to  time  at  auction  or  second-hand  stores  at  a 
much  reduced  price.  Reference  books  are  expensive,  and  few  libraries  can  afford  to  keep  up 
with  new  editions  or  even  with  recent  authorities.  In  many  cases  new  editions  are  not  worth 
the  cost.  They  are  frequently  made  from  the  same  plates  as  the  earlier  editions,  with  slight 
alterations,  not  of  sufficient  importance  to  warrant  the  expense  involved  in  their  purchase.  A 
suggestive  list  of  one  hundred  reference  books  for  a  small  library  will  be  found  at  the  end  of 
the  volume. 

The  selection  of  the  books  in  this  volume  has  been  made  from  a  study  of  the  reference 
departments  of  the  principal  libraries  of  Philadelphia,  Boston,  New  York,  St.  Louis,  and 
Washington,  and  practically  covers  the  course  of  study  in  reference  books  as  pursued  in  the 
Drexel  Institute  Library  School.     Other  library  schools  also  give  similar  courses.

PREFACE   TO    SECOND   EDITION 

The  publication  of  many  important  reference  books  since  1902  made  it  necessary  to  revise  and 
enlarge  the  Guide.  The  Supplements  published  in  the  Library  Journal  and  the  A.L.A.  Booklist 
in  January  of  each  year  have  been  incorporated  with  much  additional  material  in  the  present 
edition.  More  foreign  reference  books  have  been  included,  and  in  some  cases  the  scope  of  the 
work  has  been  extended  to  embrace  mention  of  institutions  as  well  as  books  which  may  be  consulted 
by  the  reference  librarian. 

Special  attention  is  called  to  the  Index  which  has  been  made  as  full  as  practicable  in  order 
that  the  reference  books  may  be  more  readily  used  by  persons  who  have  had  little  experience  in 
looking  up  infoi-mation  in  them.  It  includes,  besides  topics  referred  to  in  the  text,  many  subjects 
of  general  interest  to  be  found  in  the  books  of  reference  mentioned  in  this  manual,  such  as  state 
seals,  state  flowers,  coats  of  arms,  consuls,  election  returns,  etc. 

While  it  is  obviously  impossible  to  make  a  complete  analytic  index  to  the  contents  of  reference 
books,  there  are  still  a  number  of  subjects  which  it  is  convenient  to  locate  quickly,  and  which  are 
difficult  to  find  without  a  thorough  knowledge  of  these  books. 

The  compiler  extends  grateful  acknowledgments  for  helpful  suggestions  to  Mr  F.  W.  Faxon, 
Mr  Charles  C.  Soule,  Mr  S.  H.  Berry,  Mr  A.  Growoll,  Mr  Edward  H.  Virgin,  Mr  David  H. 
Hutcheson,  Mr  Charles  Martel,  Mr  Steingrimur  Stefansson,  Dr  Roland  P.  Falkner,  Miss  A.  R. 
Hasse,  Miss  Theodosia  E.  Macurdy,  Mr  C.  W.  Andrews,  Mr  J.  I.  Wyer,  Jr.,  Mr  William  Coolidge 
Lane,  Miss  Nina  E.  Browne,  Mr  George  Winthrop  Lee;  to  the  reference  librarians  of  the  Free 
Library  of  Philadelphia,  Astor  Library,  Library  of  Congress,  John  Crerar  Library,  and  other 
libraries  for  their  many  courtesies.

INTKODUCTION 

A  REFERENCE  book  has  been  defined  as  "  a  book  which  is  to  be  consulted  for  definite  points  of 
information  rather  than  read  through,  and  is  arranged  with  explicit  reference  to  ease  in  finding 
specific  facts."  (E.  C.  Richardson  in  Lib.  j.  18  :  254.)  Books  which  come  under  this  classifica- 
tion are  usually  separated  from  the  rest  of  the  books  in  a  library  and  placed  where  they  can  be 
most  readily  consulted  by  the  public,  without  the  delay  of  customary  formahties.  They  comprise 
general  encyclopedias,  cyclopedias  of  special  subjects,  dictionaries,  gazetteers,  atlases,  etc.  The 
term  reference  book  in  public  libraries  is  also  used  to  include  many  books  that  do  not  circulate 
outside  the  library  either  on  account  of  their  character  or  their  value.^ 

REFERENCE  WORK  IN   LIBRARIES 

The  term  reference  work  is  commonly  used  in  libraries  to  include  that  branch  of  their  admin- 
istration which  deals  with  the  assistance  given  to  readers  in  their  use  of  the  resources  of  the  library. 
This  is  an  important  part  of  the  educational  work  of  public  libraries.  The  ''information  desk  " 
is  now  a  well-established  feature  in  the  large  libraries  of  America.^  At  this  post  the  reference 
librarian  presides.  His  duties  are  to  assist  readers  in  their  search  for  information,  and  to  some 
extent  to  guide  the  reading  public  by  preparing  lists  of  references  on  topics  of  the  day  or  on  sub- 
jects of  general  interest.  He  must  be  able  to  send  inquirers  to  the  necessary  reference  books  or 
other  authorities,  and  in  order  to  do  this  he  should  have  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  librarian's 
aids  and  guides,  reference  books,  and  bibliographies. 

The  reference  librarian,  especially  in  a  public  library,  should  keep  a  record  of  the  questions  most 
frequently  asked,  specifying  places  in  which  answers  to  the  same  can  be  found.  It  is  well,  if  time 
does  not  allow  for  analytic  work  to  be  inserted  in  the  card  catalog,  to  keep  this  record  near  the 
information  desk,  writing  the  questions  on  cards  with  references  where  found,  and  filing  alpha- 
betically. Much  valuable  time  is  consumed  in  looking  up  the  same  question  over  and  over  again. 
This  is  particularly  noticeable  in  the  case  of  questions  for  school  work  where  a  large  number  of 
children  are  assigned  the  same  topic.  Lists  of  all  references  on  such  subjects  as  Christmas,  Arbor 
Day,  Thanksgiving  Day,  Washington's  Farewell  address,  lives  of  noted  personages, —  Washington, 
Lincoln,  Lowell,  Holmes,  etc.,  —  should  be  always  at  hand  covering  every  available  reference  in 
the  library  on  the  subject. 

In  libraries  where  there  is  no  reference  librarian  every  attendant  at  the  delivery  desk  must  be 
ready  to  answer  questions,  and,  when  not  able  to  do  so,  must  refer  them  to  the  Librarian.  Any 
one  at  all  familiar  with  library  management  knows  what  a  large  number  of  questions  —  some 
trivial  and  some  important  —  are  brought  to  the  library  for  solution  every  day. 

The  Librarian  cannot  always  be  accessible  to  the  numerous  visitors  who  come  to  the  library. 
It  is,  therefore,  of  the  highest  importance  that  his  assistants  should,  so  far  as  possible,  under- 
stand how  to  use  reference  books,  which  serve  frequently  as  guides  to  more  important  authorities 
which  may  not  be  included  under  the  limited  title,  reference  book.  The  public  certainly  cannot 
expect  the  attendants  to  know  the  answers  to  the  questions  which  they  ask,  but  in  the  majority 
of  cases  they  should  be  expected  to  know  where  to  find  them.     This  knowledge  comes  largely

World's  library  congress,  1896,  p.  976-982.

^  INTRODUCTION 

from  daily  experience,  and  becomes  constantly  more  technical  in  character;  it  can,  however,  be 
materially  assisted  by  a  systematic  study  of  reference  books.  Johnson  said:  ''Knowledge  is  of 
two  kinds.  We  know  a  subject  ourselves,  or 'we  know  where  we  can  find  information  upon  it." 
The  latter  is  one  of  the  necessary  requirements  of  a  librarian.  A  thorough  understanding  of  the 
use  and  value  of  reference  books  assists  one  to  turn  readily  to  the  correct  book  for  the  solution  of 
some  difficult  point,  and  saves  much  valuable  time.  Every  desk-attendant  should  be  a  reference 
librarian  so  far  as  in  him  hes  the  ability. 

The  true  librarian  finds  no  greater  satisfaction  in  his  daily  work  than  that  of  solving  a  difficult 
problem  for  some  earnest  student  by  placing  before  him  the  best  authority  from  some  hidden 
corner  of  the  library.  The  memory  can  be  trained  along  these  lines  to  a  remarkable  degree. 
The  librarian  who  sincerely  wishes  to  succeed  in  this,  by  a  systematic  study  of  the  books  of 
reference,  and  the  use  of  the  indexes  and  other  keys,  will  be  able  to  accomplish  what  will  appear 
most  wonderful  to  one  not  accustomed  to  the  daily  handling  of  books  and  constant  observation  of 
them. 

A  librarian,  distinguished  for  his  abihty  to  assist  readers,  wrote,  ''  In  the  intervals  of  library 
work,  I  am  accustomed  to  consider  the  looking  up  of  subjects  or  authorities  as  one  of  my  very 
best  recreations.  It  is  as  interesting  as  a  game  of  whist  and  much  more  profitable.  .  .  .  And 
this  is  one  of  the  foremost  attractions,  let  me  add,  of  the  librarian's  calling;  it  is  more  full  of  intel- 
lectual variety,  of  wide-open  avenues  to  knowledge,  than  any  other  vocation  whatever."  A.  R. 
Spofford  in  his  Book  for  all  readers,  p.  198. 

In  some  of  the  large  libraries  meetings  of  the  assistants  are  held  at  regular  intervals.  A  study 
of  aids  and  guides,  with  the  result  of  practical  experience  in. using  them,  can  be  made  an  instruc- 
tive feature  of  such  meetings.  There  are  possibilities  of  improvement  in  the  regular  staff  of  the 
hbrary  in  this  way,  while  the  results  can  be  tested  from  time  to  time  if  desired  by  means  of 
examinations,  the  questions  asked  at  the  delivery  desk  serving  as  a  basis  for  such  examination. 

SOURCES    OF    INFORMATION 

Other  institutions  besides  libraries  are  engaged  in  reference  work  and  are  important  bureaus 
of  information  which  the  reference  librarian  should  know  and  refer  to  when  the  resources  of  his 
library  have  been  exhausted.  Some  of  these  are  in  connection  with  the  United  States  govern- 
ment at  Washington,  among  which  may  be  mentioned  the  Bureau  of  Education  which  is  the 
chief  authority  in  the  country  for  educational  information,  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  the 
Surgeon-general's  office  for  medical  subjects,  the  Department  of  Commerce  and  Labor  and  many 
others.  There  are  other  institutions  such  as  the  Philadelphia  Museums  whose  specialty  is  foreign 
commerce  that  may  be  called  upon  by  librarians  for  aid  in  looking  up  subjects. 

A  few  enterprises  of  a  more  commercial  nature  it  is  also  well  to  use.  An  example  of  this  is 
the  Cumulative  Reference  Library  of  the  H.  W.  Wilson  Company,  Minneapolis,  which  consists  of 
articles  clipped  from  magazines  (principally  those  indexed  in  the  Readers'  guide)  and  theses, 
pamphlets,  etc.  Collections  on  a  number  of  important  subjects  are  rented  at  a  small  cost.  This 
is  of  use  in  small  towns  to  supplement  the  collections  of  the  public  library  when  its  collection 
of  periodicals  is  limited. 

INTERLIBRARY    LOANS 

Through  a  system  of  interlibrary  loans  books  may  be  borrowed  from  other  libraries  for  the  use 
of  students.  The  reference  librarian  must  remember  this  when  assisting  serious  readers.  The 
Library  of  Congress,  for  example,  lends  books  "  for  the  convenience  of  investigators  engaged  in 
research  "  on  condition  that  the  book  is  an  unusual  one  "which  it  is  not  the  duty  of  the  local 
library  to  supply,  and  that  it  can  at  the  moment  be  spared  by  the  Library  of  Congress,  and  that 
the  risk  and  expense  of  transportation  shall  be  borne  by  the  borrowing  library."  This  custom 
is  also  adopted  by  many  large  public,  state  and  college  libraries. 


INTRODUCTION  xi 

LEGISLATIVE    REFERENCE    WORK 

Several  of  the  states  have  estabhshed  in  connection  with  the  state  hbrary  a  legislative 
reference  department  where  members  of  the  legislature  can  obtain  material  upon  matters  which 
come  before  them  for  consideration  and  action.  The  legislative  reference  librarian  collects 
books,  newspaper  and  magazine  articles,  documents,  pamphlets,  letters,  etc.,  classifies  and 
indexes  these  so  as  to  have  them  ready  for  immediate  consultation.  A  few  cities  have  adopted 
the  idea  by  establishing  municipal  reference  departments  for  the  benefit  of  the  mayor  and  the 
council.     These  legislative  departments  can  also  be  consulted  by  librarians. 

REFERENCE    WORK    IN    COLLEGES 

In  many  colleges  the  study  of  bibliography  has  been  introduced  —  usually  as  an  elective  course 
in  the  senior  year  —  in  which  the  use  of  reference  books  and  the  library  catalog  is  included. 
This  is  realizing,  to  some  extent,  what  Emerson  so  much  desired  when  he  wrote,  earnestly  advo- 
cating a  professorship  of  books  in  every  college.  That  the  college  is  the  proper  field  for  such 
study  there  is  little  question.  It  is  only  to  be  regretted  that  such  a  chair  does  not  exist  in  every 
college,  and  that  the  course  is.  not  a  regular  part  of  the  curriculum.  It  is  here  that  the  student, 
who  is  pursuing  a  special  line  of  work,  finds  that  a  knowledge  of  bibliography  will  aid  him  in 
obtaining  access  to  the  literature  of  his  subject,  and  that  in  thoroughly  understanding  how  to 
use  reference  books,  he  can  find  quickly  information  on  subjects  outside  his  specialty  which 
otherwise  he  would  either  do  without,  or  be  obliged  to  consume  much  valuable  time  in  finding. 

REFERENCE   WORK   IN   SCHOOLS 

A  systematic  study  of  the  use  of  books  can  also  be  made  an  important  feature  in  the  training 
of  teachers,  and  it  might  therefore  be  introduced  to  advantage  into  the  course  of  study  in  high  and 
normal  schools.  The  knowledge  of  how  to  advise  others  what  to  read  and  how  to  find  answers 
to  the  questions  constantly  coming  up  in  the  course  of  their  reading  is  of  the  greatest  value  to 
the  student  who  is  soon  to  go  out  to  teach  young  people.  One  of  the  difficult  problems  of  the 
public  libraries  of  the  present  day,  especially  in  our  large  cities,  is  to  make  closer  the  union  between 
the  public  library  and  the  public  schools.  Many  methods  have  been  adopted  to  bring  about 
better  results  in  improving  the  character  of  the  reading  of  the  children  in  the  schools,  and  much 
valuable  discussion  of  these  methods  may  be  found  in  the  volumes  of  the  Libraiy  Journal.  Never- 
theless it  still  remains  a  formidable  task  for  one  librarian  in  a  large  city  to  influence  several  hun- 
dred public  school  teachers  or  to  assist  them  to  any  perceptible  degree  in  learning  how  to  use  the 
library  and  the  books  in  it.  Instruction  of  this  character  should  begin  before  the  cares  and  busy 
hours  of  teaching  take  up  all  the  time,  if  not  all  the  enthusiasm  and  desire  on  the  part  of  the  teacher. 
A  normal  school  is  generally  provided  with  a  working  collection  of  books.  The  instruction 
should  therefore  include  a  study  of  the  catalog  and  classification  of  its  own  library,  which  must  be 
made  to  conform  as  nearly  as  possible  to  the  best  library  methods.  In  teaching  the  use  of  reference 
books  in  schools,  it  will  often  be  found  necessary  to  take  the  class  to  the  public  library,  if  the 
school  library  does  not  contain  the  most  important  of  these  books.  On  leaving  the  school,  every 
student  should  be  able  to  go  to  a  library  to  look  up  any  information  either  in  catalog,  on  shelves, 
or  in  reference  books. 

The  references  (p.  4-5)  will  call  attention  to  many  articles  in  library  periodicals,  illustrating  courses  now 
given  in  normal  schools. 

HOW  TO  STUDY  REFERENCE  BOOKS 

The  student  should  first  read  the  title-page  and  preface  or  introduction  of  each  reference  book, 
where  the  purpose  of  the  book  is  usually  stated.  Then  examine  the  book  for  special  features, 
including  indexes,  cross-references,  bibliographies,  etc. 

Several  articles  should  be  examined  and  compared  with  those  on  the  same  subjects  in  another 
reference  book. 


xii  INTRODUCTION 

Additional  points  to  be  noted  are:  the  authority  for  the  article,  its  arrangement,  the  date,  the 
treatment  of  the  subject,  whether  technical  or  popular,  whether  concise  or  extended. 

It  is  not  sufficient  that  titles  of  reference  books  should  be  known  to  the  student,  but  systematic 
study  should  be  followed  by  constant  reference  to  the  books  by  means  of  set  questions  which  must 
be  looked  up  thoroughly.  As  the  student  progresses,  he  must  not  confine  himself  to  the  reference 
books,  but  consult  the  best  books  on  any  subject  for  fuller,  and  often  more  authoritative,  infor- 
mation. Many  text-books  are  the  best  reference  books  on  special  subjects.  These  have  not  been 
included  in  this  list,  which  is  limited  to  the  more  narrow  meaning  of  the  term  reference  book. 
Libraries  such  as  that  of  the  British  Museum,  and  even  others  not  so  large,  include  the  leading 
text-books  and  authorities  in  the  reference  department.  This  should  be  done  if  the  library  can 
afford  to  possess  duplicate  copies. 

Care  should  always  be  taken  to  keep  in  touch  with  what  is  being  published,  the  latest  editions 
and  most  recent  authorities  should  be  noted,  and  when  a  new  work  comes  out,  and  is  found  to  be 
useful  for.some  specific  purpose,  it  should  be  added  to  the  student's  list  of  reference  books.

GUIDE  TO  REFERENCE  BOOKS 


"Reference  books  are  the  clearing-houses  of  knowledge,  fhey  are  libraries  in  miniature, 
focusing  into  a  single  book  information  scattered  through  a  thousand  volumes.  They  are  short- 
cuts to  learning,  pass-keys  to  the  accumulated  wisdom  of  the  ages.  The  ordinary  reader  knows 
little  of  them,  and  realizes  but  slightly  the  great  help  they  would  be  to  him  in  his  daily  reading 
and  daily  living."     W:  G:  Jordan  in  Literary  era,  8 :  52. 

"  A  selection  of  the  best  works  of  reference  should  be  the  comer-stone  of  every  library  collec- 
tion."   A.  R.  Spofford  in  his  Book  for  all  readers. 

"...  For  I  have  long  known  how  much  books  of  reference  fail  of  all  the  good  which  they 
might  accomplish,  simply  from  ignorance  of  them,  or  inability  to  use  them  intelligently."  Justin 
Winsor  in  Lib.  j.  3 :  159. 

"  It  is  quite  possible  for  a  person  of  ordinary  memory  and  abihty,  by  careful  study  of  reference 
books,  by  familiarity  with  the  arrangement  of  his  library,  and  by  attention  to  the  aids  which  his 
fellow  librarians  have  put  in  print,  to  gain  that  respectable  amount  of  information  about  a  great 
many  things  essential  to  work  at  the  information  desk."     George  T.  Little  in  Lib.  j.  20  :  C  20. 

"We  all  agree  in  lamenting  that  there  are  so  many  houses  —  even  some  of  considerable  social 
position  —  where  you  will  not  find  a  good  atlas,  a  good  dictionary,  or  a  good  cyclopaedia  of  refer- 
ence. What  is  still  more  lamentable,  in  a  good  many  more  houses  where  these  books  are,  they 
are  never  referred  to  or  opened.  That  is  a  very  discreditable  fact,  because  I  defy  anybody  to  take 
up  a  single  copy  of  the  Times  newspaper  and  not  come  upon  something  in  it,  upon  which,  if  their 
interest  in  the  affairs  of  the  day  were  active,  intelligent,  and  alert  as  it  ought  to  be,  they  would 
consult  an  atlas,  dictionary,  or  cyclopaedia  of  reference."  John  Morley  in  his  Studies  in  literature, 
p.  205. 

"  It  [a  public  library]  should  be  rich  in  books  of  reference,  in  encyclopaedias,  where  one  may 
learn  without  cost  of  research  what  things  are  generally  known.  For  it  is  far  more  useful  to  know 
these  than  to  know  those  that  are  not  generally  known."  James  Russell  Lowell  in  his  Books  and 
libraries.

PERIODICALS,  ESSAYS,  DEBATES,  DISSERTATIONS 

PERIODICALS 

Periodicals  in  a  library  serve  two  purposes:  first,  as  current  literature  of  the  day,  they 
are  a  record  of  the  thought  of  the  present,  and  second,  in  the  form  of  bound  volumes,  they 
are  a  permanent  record  of  the  thought  of  the  past.  It  is  in  the  latter  form  more  particu- 
larly thf>t  they  become  a  part  of  the  reference  collection  and  are  usually  kept  in  the 
so-called  *'  reference  department  "  of  a  general  library. 

A  good  collection  of  bound  volumes  of  the  well-known  periodicals  is  almost  indispt.ii- 
sable  to  a  public  library.  A  large  reference  library  will  have  so  far  as  possible  compl- "e 
sets  of  all  periodicals  indexed  in  **  Poole."  These  important  reference  books  contain  a 
vast  amount  of  valuable  material  on  all  subjects,  much  of  which  cannot  be  found  else- 
where. All  of  this  would  be  inaccessible  without  that  most  useful  key,  the  Index  to  peri- 
odical literature,  originally  compiled  by  W:  F:  Poole  in  one  volume,  afterwards  revised 
and  enlarged,  and  brought  down  to  date  by  supplementary  volumes.  The  periodicals 
indexed  in  this  great  work  do  not  include  technical  and  scientific  journals. 

In  order  that  the  collection  of  periodicals  may  be  made  readily  useful,  a  list,  specifying 
the  exact  volumes  contained  in  the  Library  which  are  indexed  in  Poole  and  other  indexes, 
must  be  kept  in  a  conspicuous  place  near  these  indexes.

end  of  1899.  Designed  especially  for  the  small  library, 
but  of  great  value  to  all  libraries,  large  or  small,  on 
account  of  its  one  alphabet  and  the  fact  that  it  gives 
references  enough  for  all  ordinary  work.

Indispensable  even  in  small  libraries  which  should 
have  the  first  five-yearly  volume,  the  annual  volumes 
from  1905  and  the  current  monthly  numbers.  These 
with  the  Abridged  Poole  will  be  necessary  to  make

Other  general  magazines,  such  as  the  At-

They  contain,  besides,  more  cross-refer-

CARD  INDEXES 

The  large  libraries  of  the  country  will 
have  on  file  the  printed  card  index  (authors 
and  subjects)  to  current  numbers  of  250 
technical  periodicals.  These  cards  are  pre- 
pared under  the  direction  of  the  American 
Library  Association  Publishing  Board  by 
cooperating  libraries.  The  indexing  was 
begun  in  1898. 

Some  large  libraries  have  also  on  file  spe- 
cial card  indexes,  such  as  that  of  the  U.  S. 
Department  of  Agriculture,  which  has  issued 
a  card  index  to  its  pubhcations  since  1899. 
The  list  of  books  in  the  reading-room  of  the 
John  Crerar  Hbrary  mentions  nine  such  in- 
dexes on  file  for  the  use  of  its  readers. 

NE^VSPAPERS 

Bound  volumes  of  newspapers  are  kept  in 
almost  all  general  libraries.  They  consti- 
tute a  most  important  record  of  the  history 
of  the  day.  In  some  libraries  the  files  are 
limited  to  the  newspapers  of  the  locality. 
The  large  hbraries  of  the  United  States  will, 
however,  contain  files  of  leading  New  York 
papers  and  often  of  representative  papers  of 
the  east,  west,  north,  and  south,  as  well  as 
of  a  London  paper  such  as  the  Times. 

Of  the  newspapers,  few  have  indexes.  It 
is  well  to  remember  that  the  New  York 
Daily   Tribune  (yearly,  price  $1,  pap.),  the 


NEWSPAPERS 


13 


New  York  Times,  and  the  London  Times 
(quarterly,  10s.  Gd.)  have  indexes,  and  these 
will  be  found  to  be  of  the  greatest  value  to 
libraries  having  files  of  these  papers. 

These  indexes  may  be  used  for  other  news- 
papers, the  date  being  the  clue  to  where  a 
subject  may  be  found.

"The  chief  aim  of  the  work  is  not  to  give  every- 
thing which  appears  in  a  select  number  of  works  on 
a  few  selected  subjects,  but  rather  to  cover  as  many 
subjects  as  possible,  and  give  a  few  references  to  each 
one."     Preface.

more  familiar  annual  books  of  reference  and  a  few 
specified  standard  works."     Preface. 

The  works  indexed  are  almost  entirely  British, 
making  this  book  of  use  chiefly  in  large  libraries. 
There  is  "a  list  of  works  of  reference,"  pref.  p.  5-17, 
which  includes  British  year-books,  annuals  and 
similar  publications.

SOCIETY  PUBLICATIONS 


Reports  and  transactions  of  learned  societies  are  essential  to  the  student  who  would  inves- 
tigate his  subject  thoroughly,  and  they  often  furnish  needed  information  to  the  general 
inquirer  as  well.  Every  reference  library  will  have  a  number  of  these  important  sets.  The 
student  and  reference  librarian  must  therefore  know  their  scope  and  value.  Many  of  the 
transactions  and  proceedings  of  learned  societies  are  indexed  in  the  indexes  to  technical 
periodical  literature.

ENCYCLOPEDIAS 

The  word  Encyclopcedia  is  derived  from  two  Greek  words,  meaning  circular  and  instruction, 
and  is  applied  to  "  a  work  in  which  the  various  topics  included  under  several  or  all  branches  of 
knowledge  are  treated  separately  and  usually  in  alphabetical  order"  (Century  dictionary) 
The  shorter  form,  cyclopedia,  is  used  with  the  same  meaning,  but  it  is  often  limited  to  a  book 
treating  of  the  various  topics  of  one  branch  of  knowledge. 

In  Encyclopedias  the  articles  are  usually  arranged  in  alphabetic  order  as  the  most  con- 
venient for  ready  reference.  Some,  however,  have  topics  arranged  under  the  general  class 
not  under  the  specific  name  of  the  subject,  as  in  the  Britannica.  In  others  a  classified  method 
of  arrangement  has  been  adopted;  for  example,  the  Iconographic  encyclopaedia,  where  each 
volume  treats  of  a  separate  class. 

The  following  outline  is  a  condensed  statement  of  the  leading  facts  in  the  history  of 
Encyclopedias.  For  fuller  information  consult  the  Century  dictionary,  the  New  interna- 
tional encyclopaedia  (v.  G,  p.  711-716)  Encyclopaedia  Britannica,  La  grande  encyclopedic, 
Chambers's  Encyclopaedia,  Larousse's  Grand  dictionnaire  (pref.  p.  5-76)  and  the  chapter 
in  Morley's  Diderot  a-nd  the  Encyclopaedists  (1  :  117-247) 

Before  the  16th  century  many  attempts  had  been  made  to  present  in  systematic  form 
whatever  was  known  in  all  branches  of  learning.  Among  the  earliest  of  these  may  be 
mentioned  the  lost  works  of  Terentius  Varro  in  the  first  century  b.  c.  and  the  Historia  natu- 
ralis  of  Pliny  (23-79  a.  d.)  The  Opus  majus  of  Roger  Bacon  in  the  13th  century  was  an 
effort  of  the  same  kind.  During  this  century  many  volumes  appeared  bearing  the  title 
Speculum  (notably  those  of  Vincent  of  Beauvais)  which  were  the  encyclopedias  of  their  time. 

It  was,  however,  in  1541  that  Ringelberg's  Cyclopedia  gave  the  name  that  has  been  com- 
monly used  for  works  of  this  character,  and  from  that  time  the  number  of  similar  enter- 
prises increased  rapidly.  In  the  17th  century,  encyclopedias  were  printed  in  the  vernacular, 
the  Latin  language  having  prevailed  until  that  time.  Bayle's  Dictionnaire  historique  et 
critique,  which  appeared  in  1696,  was  for  a  long  time  an  authority,  and  was  translated  into 
English.  It  is  still  to  be  found  either  in  the  original  or  in  translation  among  reference  books, 
and  has  been  in  the  past  a  source  of  information  for  many  writers,  although  now  it  is  seldom 
used. 

The  choice  of  an  encyclopedia  will  depend  upon  the  character  of  the  library.  The  small 
library  that  can  afford  to  spend  but  little  money  for  reference  books  must  buy  the  best 
recent  encyclopedia.  The  Hbrarian  should  be  guided  in  the  selection  by  the  opinion  of 
some  experienced  reference  librarian.  The  number  of  general  encyclopedias  is  increasing 
rapidly,  many  of  them  being  made  up  from  material  contained  in  similar  publications. 
New  editions  in  which  alterations  are  slight  consisting  usually  of  changes  made  in  the 
electrotype  plates  appear  frequently.  The  small  Hbrary  can  afford  to  wait  before  purchas- 
ing until  the  merits  of  an  encyclopedia  have  been  tested.  Large  reference  libraries  should 
contain  many  encyclopedias,  including  all  of  importance.  They  must  exclude  those  which 
have  no  scholarly  characteristics  but  are  made  only  to  sell. 

HOW    TO    USE    ENCYCLOPEDIAS 

In  using  general  encyclopedias,  the  student  should  bear  in  mind  the  following  points:  — 

(a)  Whether  the  information  wanted  would  be  affected  by  the  date  of  the  article. 

(b)  Whether  the  article  wanted  should  be  a  brief  statement  or  a  more  exhaustive  trea- 
tise on  the  subject.     Whether  it  should  be  technical  or  popular.

ENCYCLOPEDIAS.    AMERICAN 


21 


(c)  Whether  the  encyclopedia  in  hand  enters  under  the  general  or  the  specific  subject. 
In  the  Britannica  one  would  find  the  smaller  subjects  treated  under  the  class  which  includes 
them;  in  the  New  international  and  others  they  are  usually  to  be  found  under  their  owii 
headings. 

(d)  To  use  the  indexes  and  cross-references  if  the  subject  is  not  treated  under  the  word 
for  which  one  looks. 

(e)  To  observe  the  bibliographic  references  at  the  end  of  the  articles  and  follow  up  a 
subject  by  consulting  the  best  authorities  on  it. 

(f )  To  note  whether  or  not  the  articles  are  signed. 


AMERICAN 

The  earliest  American  encyclopedias 
appear  to  have  been  simply  reprints  of  those 
published  in  England.  The  Encyclopaedia 
Americana  (Phil.  1829-33,  13v.)  was  based 
on  the  German  Konversations-lexikon. 

The  most  important  American  encyclope- 
dias in  use  at  the  present  time  are  the 
following:  — 

New  international  encyclopaedia;  editors, 
D.  C.  Gilman,  H.  T.  Peck,  F.  M.  Colby. 
N.  Y.  Dodd,  1907  [c  '02-07]  20v.  il.  pi.  por. 
maps,  Q.     about  $5  per  vol.  031 

The  edition  of  1902-04  was  bound  in  17  vols. 
Previous  editions  now  out  of  date  bore  the  title  Inter- 
national cyclopsEdia, 

Tne  New  international  encyclopaedia  is  an  entirely 
new  work,  thoroughly  American,  in  which  specific 
subjects  are  concisely  treated  under  their  names.  It 
includes  biographies  of  living  as  well  as  of  dead  celeb- 
rities. The  illustrations  and  maps  are  good.  The 
articles  are  not  signed.  This  is  the  best  encyclopedia 
for  ready  reference. 

New  international  year  book;  a  com- 
pendium of  the  world's  progress  for  1907. 
N.  Y.  Dodd,  1908.     v.  1,  pi.  por.  maps,  O.* 

031 

The  1907  volume  includes  brief  summaries  covering 
the  four  years  immediately  preceding  1907  which 
accompany  the  account  of  the  year.  The  purpose  is 
to  supplement  the  New  international  cyclopajdia. 

International  year  book,  1898-1902.  N.  Y. 
Dodd  [c  1899-1903]  5  v.  pi.  por.  maps,  O. 
$4  per  vol.  031 

The  1902  volume  contains  an  index  to  all  the  A-olumes. 
No  more  published.  Still  occasionally  useful  for  fuller 
articles  on  some  topics  than  are  to  be  found  in  the  New 
internationa/  encyclopffidia. 

Encyclopedia   Americana;   a   general   dic- 
tionary of  the  arts  and  sciences,   literature, 
history,  biography,  geography,  etc.     Editor- 
in-chief  F.  C.  Beach.     N.  Y.  The  Americana 
*  Continued  annually. 


CO.   [c  1903-04]      16v.  il.    pi.  por.  maps,  Q 
$6  per  vol.  031 

Covers  much  the  same  ground  as  the  New  inter- 
national although  the  two  often  supplement  each  other. 
The  Americana  is  probably  fuller  on  scientific  subjects. 
The  articles  are  signed.  The  Encyclopedia  is  not 
paged.     Corrections  have  been  made  in  later  editions. 

Nelson's  encyclopaedia;  everybody's  book 
of  reference.  Editors-in-chief  Frank  Moore 
Colby,  George  Sandeman.  N.  Y.  Nelson 
[c  1905-06]     12v.  il.  pi.  maps,  O.     $42.     031 

The  publishers  also  offer  a  "  Perpetual  loose-leaf 
edition"  ($90)  They  undertake  to  furnish  to  sub- 
scribers 500  revision  sheets  which  may  be  inserted 
between  the  loose,  unpaged  leaves  of  the  volumes. 
These  sheets  will  bring  up  to  date  subjects  of  impor- 
tance and  include  such  new  important  events  as  may 
occur  during  the  year. 

More  concise  in  its  treatment  of  subjects  than  the 
New  international  and  the  Encyclopedia  Americana. 
Perhaps  it  is  not  so  thoroughly  American  as  the  others. 
The  illustrations  and  maps  are  not  so  good. 

The  English  edition  is  called  The  Harmsworth 
encyclopaedia  (Lond.  Nelson.     lOv.     56s.) 

Universal  cyclopaedia  and  atlas;  Charles 
Kendall  Adams,  editor-in-chief.  Rev.  and 
enl.  ed.  Rossiter  Johnson,  editor  of  revi- 
sion. N.  Y.  Appleton,  1905.  12v.  il.  pi. 
por.   maps,   O.     $G  per  vol.  031 

Published  originally  in  1874  under  the  title  John- 
son's Universal  cyclopa>dia  and  known  also  as  Johnson's 
cyclopedia.  No  very  considerable  revision  has  been 
made  since  the  early  editions.  Slight  modifications 
have  been  made  where  they  would  not  affect  the  use  of 
the  old  plates.  An  appendix  to  each  volume  gives  new 
articles.     Maps  and  illustrations  have  been  altered. 

Entry  is  made  under  specific  subjects  and  articles 
are  signed.  Scientific  articles  are  good  although  now 
in  many  cases  out  of  date.  Bibliographies  appended 
to  each  article.

The  first  edition  of  the  cyclopaedia  bore  the  title 
New  American  cyclopaedia  (1861-63,  16v.) 

The  advance  of  knowledge  since  the  publication  of 
the  last  volume  in  1883  makes  the  work  now  out  of 
date  for  many  subjects.  It  is  supplemented  by  the 
Annual  cyclopaedia,  but  with  the  supplements  is  too 
large  a  work  for  ready  reference.  Sometimes  quoted 
as  Appleton's   cyclopaedia.

The  first  series  (published  yearly  1861-75  with  gen- 
eral index)  was  called  the  American  annual  cyclo- 
paedia. The  second  series  forms  a  supplement  to  the 
American  cyclopaedia.  Each  volume  contains  the 
history  of  the  world  for  the  year,  biographic  sketches 
of  prominent  men  with  portraits,  a  necrology,  sketch 
of  the  literature  of  the  year,  and  other  valuable  his- 
torical and  statistical  matter,  the  whole  arranged 
alphabetically.  The  full  alphabetic  indexes  to  the 
second  and  third  series  will  be  found  in  the  last  volumes 
of  each.

A  useful  work,  very  concise  in  its  treatment  of 
•events,  persons,  and  places.  Convenient  chronological 
■outlines  of  the  history  of  cities  and  countries  will  be 
ifound  under  their  names. 

A  later  edition  (N.  Y.  Harper,  1906)  contains  some 
changes  when  the  plates  could  be  altered  without  too 
great  cost,  but  there  are  not  sufficent  additions  to 
make  this  edition  necessary  in  libraries  possessing  the 
earlier  one.

An  encyclopedia  which  differs  in  its  treat- 
ment of  subjects  and  in  its  arrangement, 
not  so  useful  for  the  general  public,  but  of 
occasional  assistance  to  the  special  student 
is:  —

ing and  sculpture;  4.  Architecture;  5.  Constructive 
arts;  6.  Applied  mechanics;  7.  Principles  of  geology. 

This  is  an  anglicized  edition  of  the  German  Bilder- 
atlas  (Brockhaus)  an  earlier  edition  of  which  was 
translated  by  J.  G.  Heck  (1851,  in  4v.  text  and  2v. 
plates)  The  new  edition  is  revised  and  enlarged  by 
American  specialists.  It  includes  "  those  branches  of 
human  knowledge  whose  acquisition  can  be  facili- 
tated and  whose  principles  made  clear  by  pictorial 
representation."  The  arrangement  is  not  alphabetic 
but  classed,  related  subjects  being  grouped  together, 
and  indexes  at  the  end  of  each  volume  refer  under 
the  specific  subject  to  the  page  where  information  and 
plates  will  be  found. 

Many  encyclopedias  published  earlier  than 
those  here  mentioned,  while  for  every-day 
use  now  out  of  date,  contain  much  informa- 
tion that  is  occasionally  needed.  Among 
these  may  be  mentioned:  Brande  and  Cox's 
Dictionary  of  science,  literature,  and  art 
(1875,  3v.)  and  Zell's  Popular  encyclopedia 
(1875-76,  2v.) 

The  People's  cyclopedia  of  universal 
knowledge  (N.  Y.  Eaton,  1895-96,  6v.)  is  a 
small  cyclopedia  which  in  its  day  was  useful. 
In  vol.  6  there  is  an  appendix  containing 
much  miscellaneous  information  which  wiP 
still  be  helpful.

ENGLISH 

In  England  among  the  earlier  encyclope- 
dias of  importance  may  be  mentioned  the 
Lexicon  technicum,  by  Dr  John  Harris 
(Lond.  1704)  and  the  Cyclopedia;  or,  An 
universal  dictionary  of  arts  and  sciences,  by 
Ephraim  Chambers  (Lond.  1728,  2v.  foHo) 
The  latter  was  much  superior  to  other 
encyclopedias  of  that  day,  and  is  of  interest 
as  forming  t'he  basis  of  the  famous  French 
Encyclopedic.  Chambers  "  may  be  regarded 
as  the  father  of  Enghsh  encyclopaedic 
lexicography." 

The  first  edition  of  the  Encyclopaedia  Bri- 
tannica  appeared  in  three  quarto  volumes 
(1768-71)  and  has  since  gone  through  ten 
editions.

032 

This  still  remains  a  standard  work  of  reference, 
although  many  of  the  articles  are  now  out  of  date. 
The  arrangement  is  under  general  rather  than  specific 
subject,  the  index  volume  referring  to  places  in  the 
general  alphabet,  where  a  specific  subject  may  be 
found.  The  articles  are  lengthy  treatises  in  most 
cases,  written  by  authorities,  and  signed,  with  val- 
uable bibliographies  referring  to  sources  appended. 
More  useful  for  the  specialist  than  the  general  reader. 
Biographies  of  living  persons  are  omitted. 

The  index  volume  to  the  Philadelphia  reprint  (991  p.) 
is  much  fuller  than  the  index  to  the  English  edition 
(499  p.)  "  By  its  aid,  every  name  and  every  topic, 
treated  anywhere  in  this  vast  repository  of  human 
knowledge,  can  be  traced  out  and  appropriated;  while 
without,  the  E.  B.,  with  all  its  great  merits,  must  re- 
main very  muCh-  in  the  nature  of  a  sealed  book  to  the

ence."    A.  R.  Spofford  in  hia  Book  for  all  readers.

These  with  the  24  volumes  of  the  9th  edition  con- 
stitute the  10th  edition  of  this  famous  encyclopedia. 
Of  this  supplement,  vol.  10  is  devoted  to  maps,  forming 
an  atlas  volume.  These  maps  are,  however,  the  same 
as  those  in  the  Century  atlas,  the  same  plates  having 
apparently  been  used  in  both  works,  the  chief  differ- 
ence being  that  in  the  Britannica  volume  the  maps 
devoted  to  Great  Britain  come  first  and  are  more 
numerous  than  those  in  the  Century  atlas,  showing  in 
detail  the  various  sections  of  the  country.  The  index 
volume  (vol.  11)  refers  not  only  to  the  supplement 
but  to  the  original  work  as  well. 


The  chief  purpose  of  this  supplement  was  to  bring 
up  to  date  the  9th  edition  of  the  Britannica  but  the 
publishers  also  planned  to  make  an  encyclopedia 
dealing  with  recent  events  which  might  be  used  inde- 
pendently. 

Other  supplements  to  the  Britannica  have  been 
compiled.  These  are  now  superseded  by  the  above. 
They  are  the  supplement  published  by  Stoddart 
(N.  Y.  Stoddart,  1883-89.  4v.  $32)  and  one  edited 
by  D.  O.  Kellogg  (Akron,  O.,  Werner,  1900.  5v. 
$12.50)  These  supplements  contain  information  on 
American  subjects  which  were  not  fully  treated  in  the 
9th  edition.  In  libraries  containing  them  but  not  the 
new  supplement  they  will  occasionally  be  found  useful.

First  edition  was  published  in  1860-68.  It  is  a  good 
concise  encyclopedia,  probably  not  sufficiently  Ameri- 
can, although  the  later  editions  have  articles  on  Ameri- 
can subjects  written  by  specialists  in  the  United 
States.     Bibliographic  references.

topics. 

Among  the  old  Enghsh  encyclopedias 
occasionally  used  may  be  mentioned:  —

FRENCH 

In  France,  during  the  18th  century,  the 
famous  Encyclopedic  was  conspicuous  above 
all  others  of  the  time.  This  was  the  work 
of  Diderot  and  1^'Alembert,  aided  by  many 
of  the  most  able  writers  of  that  period,  and 
was  based  on  a  French  translation  of  the 
Cyclopedia  of  Ephraim  Chambers.  The 
Encyclopedic  was  pubUshed  in  Paris  and 
Neufchatel  in  28  vols.  1751-72,  and  was 
followed  by  a  supplement  in  5  vols.  Amster- 
dam, 1776-77,  and  an  analytical  index, 
Paris,  1780.  It  was  of  the  greatest  influ- 
ence in  spreading  revolutionary  thought  in 
France.  Several  editions  were  pubHshed 
outside  of  France,  and  it  served  as  a  model 
for  many  other  encyclopedias.  (For  further

GERMAN 

The  German  encyclopedias  include  some 
of  the  most  voluminous  undertakings  of  the 
kind.  The  Allgemeine  encyclopiidie  der 
wissenschaften   und   kiinste,    edited   by   the 


scholars  Ersch  and  Gruber,  is  the  most 
extended.  This  great  work  was  begun  in 
1818,  and  at  present  more  than  170  volumes 
have  appeared  at  intervals  in  three  sections. 
Each  subject  is  treated  exhaustively,  and 
many  valuable  contributions  by  specialisti* 
make  it  an  important  reference  work.  Its 
usefulness,  however,  is  limited  in  this  country 
to  a  few  scholars. 

The  "  Konversations-lexikons,"  which 
have  been  so  popular  in  Germany,  are  better 
known  to  our  American  libraries  than  any 
other  German  reference  books.  They  have 
been  used  as  models  by  later  American 
encyclopedists  in  their  compilations.  The 
Konversations-lexikon  of  Brockhaus  and 
that  of  Meyer  hold  an  almost  equally 
important  place  in  reference  departments.

V.  17  is  a  supplementary  volume. 

The  1908  edition  is  called  the  Jubilaums  ausgabe  but 
is  not  revised. 

Begun  in  1796  by  Lobel,  it  was  taken  up  by  Brock- 
hacus  in  1808.  The  first  edition  bore  the  title  Damens- 
lexicon.

cessful, or  more  frequently  copied,  imitated,  and 
translated."  EncyclopcBdia  Britannica,  article  En-

"  One  of  the  most  serviceable  and  scholarly  encyclo- 
pedias in  any  language,  especially  noteworthy  in  method 
as  a  happy  mean  between  excessive  subdivision  of 
material  and  the  monograph  type."  New  international

DICTIONARIES 

The  origin  of  the  word  is  from  the  Latin  dictionarium,  which  means  a  word-book.  It  was 
probably  first  employed  in  this  sense  by  Joannes  de  Garlanda  (d.  1250  a.  d.)  For  the  uses  of 
the  word  consult  the  Century  dictionary,  and  for  its  history  the  Introduction  to  Worcester's 
Dictionary,  Tucker's  Our  common  speech,  p.  95-150,  Williams's  Our  dictionaries  and  other 
English  language  topics,  p.  5-44,  and  Baynes's  Shakespeare  studies  and  Essay  on  English 
dictionaries,  p.  358-409.  An  interesting  history  of  English  dictionaries  is  to  be  found  in 
James  A.  H.  Murray's  Evolution  of  EngHsh  lexicography,  1900,  51  p.  A  bibhography  of 
dictionaries  still  useful,  though  not  recent,  is  Triibner's  Catalogue  of  dictionaries  and  gram- 
mars of  the  world  (Lond.  Triibner,  1882) 


AMERICAN 

During  the  past  fifty  years,  two  dictiona- 
ries have  been  published  in  the  United  States 
which  hold  about  equal  rank  as  authorities. 
The  unabridged  editions  of  Worcester's  and 
of  Webster's  dictionaries  have  gone  through 
many  revisions.  Webster's  dictionary  was 
for  many  years  considered  the  authority  for 
derivation  and  definition  of  words,  while 
Worcester's  was  quoted  as  authority  for 
pronunciation.  The  International  diction- 
ary, the  latest  edition  of  Webster,  combines 
all  the  advantages  of  both.

"  The  plan  includes  three  things:  the  construction 
of  a  general  dictionary  of  the  English  language  which 
shall  be  serviceable  for  every  literary  and  practical 
use;  —  a  more  complete  collection  of  the  technical 
terms  of  various  sciences,  arts,  trades,  and  profes- 
sions than  has  yet  been  attempted ;  —  and  the  addi- 
tion to  the  definitions  proper  of  such  related  encyclo-

constitute  a  convenient  book  of  general  reference."

ENGLISH 

The  earliest  English  dictionary  of  impor- 
tance was  Nathan  Bailey's  An  universal  ety- 
mological English  dictionary  (1721)  Pre- 
vious to  the  publication  of  this  work,  there 
had  been  no  attempt  to  prepare  a  dictionary 
of  all  the  words  in  the  English  language. 
Many  glossaries  of  difficult  words  had  been 
compiled  during  the  17th  century,  but  they 
were  not  what  we  now  mean  when  we  speak 
of  dictionaries. 

After  Bailey's  great  work,  the  next  impor- 
tant dictionary  was  that  by  the  celebrated 
author  and  lexicographer,  Dr  Samuel  John- 
son, which  is  now  better  known  than  any  of 
the  dictionaries  that  appeared  in  the  18th 
century.  It  was  published  in  1755  (2  vols, 
folio)  and  was  used  as  a  basis  for  other 
dictionaries  by  many  compilers.  The  pub- 
lication of  Johnson's  Dictionary  "  formed  a 
greater  era  than  that  of  any  other  work.  No 
other  dictionary  has  had  so  much  influence 
in  fixing  the  external  form  of  the  language 
and  ascertaining  and  settling  the  meaning 
and  proper  use  of  words,"     Worcester. 

Many  dictionaries  followed  Johnson's,  but 
there  were  none  of  much  value  until  the 
appearance  of  Charles  Richardson's  New 
dictionary  of  the  English  language,  which 
was  published  in  1838  (2  vols.  4°)  In  this 
work  more  attention  was  paid  to  the  history 


of  words,  showing  by  numerous  quotations 
their  meanings  and  any  changes  in  meaning 
they  may  have  undergone.  This  dictionary 
is  still  ranked  high  among  scholars. 

We  now  come  to  the  dictionaries  of  the 
present  day,  which  for  practical  use  have 
superseded  the  earlier  ones.  The  most  com- 
prehensive is  :  — 

Murray,  James  Augustus  Henry.  New 
EngHsh  dictionary  on  historical  principles. 
Ox.  Clarendon  press,  1888-1908.  v.  1-7,  F. 
52s.  6d.  per  vol.  423 

Founded  mainly  on  the  materials  collected  by  the 
Philological  society  since  1857.  The  interesting  his- 
tory of  this  undertaking  is  told  in  the  preface. 

Vol.  5  to  K,  V.  6,  pt.  1,  V.  7,  pt.  1,  and  many  sections 
of  other  volumes  have  been  published. 

Very  full  on  the  philological  side,  it  includes  Eng- 
lish words  now  in  general  use,  or  those  in  use  at  any 
time  during  the  past  700  years,  giving  their  meaning, 
origin,  and  history,  with  a  large  number  of  quotations 
from  English  writers  to  illustrate  the  history  and  use 
of  words.  It  is  a  dictionary  for  the  scholar  rather  thaa 
for  popular  use. 

Known  also  as  the  Oxford  dictionary. 

Other  English  dictionaries  of  importance 
are:  Stormonth's  Dictionary  of  the  English 
language  (N.  Y.  Scribner,  1899.  S9);  Ogil- 
vie's  Imperial  dictionary  (Lond.  Blackie, 
1882-83.  4v.  £5)  encyclopedic  in  character* 
the  Encyclopaedic  dictionary  (Lond.  Cassell, 
1879-88.  7v.  Q.  21s.  per  vol.)  which  has 
been  reprinted  in  America  (Phil.  Syndicate 
pub.  CO.  1895.     4v.  $16) 

SYNONYMS

SPECIAL  SUBJECTS 

The  general  cyclopedias  do  not  always  contain  answers  to  questions  which  come  up  in  rela- 
tion to  a  particular  subject.  If  the  subject  is  a  technical  one  for  which  a  special  cyclopedia 
has  been  compiled,  it  will  save  time  to  consult  such  a  work,  particularly  if  it  is  recent.  A 
cyclopedia  of  this  kind  will  describe  and  explain  more  minutely  all  the  details  of  a  subject  and 
in  many  cases  will  be  illustrated.  For  example,  a  special  cyclopedia  of  chemistry  will  bring 
together  all  that  relates  to  chemistry  that  is  of  practical  use  at  the  time  of  publication  and 
within  the  scope  of  the  work  as  laid  down  by  the  compiler.  Every  technical  term  will  be 
explained  as  it  could  not  be  in  a  general  cyclopedia. 

Many  subjects  are  without  special  dictionaries  and,  therefore,  longer  or  more  recent 
treatises  than  those  contained -in  the  encyclopedias  must  be  sought  in  magazine  articles, 
transactions  of  societies,  or  in  books  on  the  subject  not  belonging  to  the  reference  collection. 


PHILOSOPHY 

Baldwin,  James  Mark.  Dictionary  of  phi- 
losophy and  psychology.  N.  Y.  Macmillan, 
1901-05.     3v.  in  4,  il.  pi.  Q.     $26.  103 

Its  object  is  "to  understand  the  meanings  which 
our  terms  have,  and  to  render  them  by  clear  defini- 
tions .  .  .  and  to  interpret  the  movements  of  thought 
through  which  the  meanings  thus  determined  have 
arisen,  with  a  view  to  discovering  what  is  really  vital 
In  the  development  of  thought  and  term  in  one." 

The  second  volume  has  indexes  of  Greek,  Latin, 
German,  French  and  Italian  terms. 

Volume  3  is  a  classified  bibliography  of  subjects  by 
Benjamin  Rand.  It  includes  references  to  books  and 
periodical  articles.  There  is  no  author  index.  This 
is  the  most  important  bibliography  of  philosophy  and 
psychology.    It  is  continued  by  the  Psychological  index. 

"This  dictionary  is  not  only  the  first  adequate  work 
of  its  kind  in  English,  but  may  be  said  to  be  the  first 
adequate  philosophic  dictionary  in  any  language." 
Joseph  Jastrow  in  Dial,  31:276.

sophy, psychological,  ethical,  metaphysical.

ing which  will  be  accepted  and  quoted  on  the  conti- 
nent of  Europe  as  well  as  in  England  and  America: 
the  other  is  adapted  for  the  use  of  the  English-speak- 
ing peoples.  The  one  [Cheyne]  appeals  to  scholars 
and  specialists,  the  other  [Hastings]  more  to  the  body 
of  the  Christian  church."     Nation,  70:246.

"  It  differs  from  the  general  encyclopedia  in  omitting 
facts  and  information  which  have  no  relation  to  the 
Church.  On  the  other  hand,  it  is  not  exclusively  a 
church  encyclopedia,  nor  is  it  limited  to  the  ecclesiastical 
sciences  and  the  doings  of  churchmen.  It  records  all 
that  Catholics  have  done,  not  only  in  behalf  of  charity 
and  morals,  but  also  for  the  intellectual  and  artistic 
development  of  mankind."     Preface, 

The  articles  are  signed  and  there  are  bibliographies 
appended.

"On  one  side,  it  is  a  true  encyclopaedia,  and  speaks, 
always  from  a  Jewish  standpoint,  de  omni  scibili;  on 
another,  it  is  a  cyclopaedia  as  the  record  of  a  single 
branch  of  knowledge  —  the  civilization  of  a  single 
race.  .  .  .  The  chief  value  of  this  book  ...  is  to  be 
found  in  its  biographies,  its  descriptions  of  the  present 
state  of  Jews  throughout  the  world,  and  in  its  elucida- 
tions of  Talmudic  law.  On  all  these  points  it  gives 
first-hand  information  of  a  kind  and  to  an  extent  not

every  public  Hbrary,  and  in  addition  the 
session  laws  of  the  state,  which  are  valuable 
also  historically,  and  the  laws  passed  at  each

YEAR-BOOKS 

Year-books  or  annuals  which  give  statis- 
tical information  regarding  the  various  states 
of  the  world  are  usually  published  about 
February  or  March  of  each  year,  and  should 
be  obtained  immediately  upon  publication. 
They  form  one  of  the  most  important  sec- 
tions of  a  reference  department,  since  they 
afford  a  ready  guide  to  recent  statistics, 
saving  much  investigation  into  authorities 
more  difficult  of  access.  Not  only  the  current 
number,  but  back  numbers  as  well,  will  be 
found  necessary  in  a  large  library. 

Besides  the  Statesman's  year-book  which  is 
issued  in  England,  there  should  be  an  Amer- 
ican annual  to  supply  the  necessary  statis- 
tical facts  about  our  own  country  which 
cannot  be  found  so  completely  given  in  the 
English  publication,  e.  g.  election  returns  of 
the  various  states,  etc. 

Annuals  of  special  subjects  are  described 
under  their  respective  headings,  e.  g.  an  art 
annual  under  Fine  arts,  etc. 

AMERICAN 

Of  American  annuals,  the  most  practically 
useful  are  the  newspaper  almanacs,  of  which 
the  following  are  the  best:  —

know  its  contents  thoroughly.  Index  in  front.  There

some  paper  published  in  its  own  city,  to  give 
names  of  local  and  state  officials  and  other 
information  of  the  locahty.

SPECIAL  SUBJECTS 


Vol.  1  is  a  dictionary  of  costume,  giving  in  alpha- 
betic order  concise  definitions  of  terms  used  in  describ- 
ing dress,  with  copious  illustrations;  vol.  2  gives  a  his- 
tory of  costume  in  Europe. 

Besides  many  general  books  on  costume, 
such  as  Racinet's  Le  costume  historique 
illustrated  biographies  and  histories  of  vari- 
ous countries  and  periods  must  be  consulted. 

SCIENCE 

In  no  department  (except  statistics)  is 
it  more  necessary  to  keep  up  with  recent 
editions  of  reference  books  than  in  science. 
Many  of  the  cyclopedias  in  this  section 
become  obsolete  almost  as  soon  as  published. 
The  reference  library  must  therefore  contain 
the  latest  editions  and  authorities.  Com- 
paratively few  good  scientific  dictionaries 
exist.  Many  old  cyclopedias  are  frequently 
found  useful;  among  these  are:  Tomlinson's 
Cyclopaedia  of  useful  arts,  mechanical  and 
chemical,  manufactures,  mining,  and  engi- 
neering (Lond.  Virtue,  1868.  3v.),  and  Ure's 
Dictionary  of  arts,  manufactures,  and  mines 
(N.  Y.  1857-62.     2v.).

ANTHOLOGIES    AND    QUO- 
TATIONS 

Anthologies  and  books  of  quotations  are 
very  numerous.  Even  a  small  library  must 
have  several  in  order  to  answer  many  ques- 
tions as  to  authorship  of  passages.  They  are 
also  of  service  in  finding  passages  illustrating 
special  subjects,  in  verifying  a  quotation  as 
regards  its  accuracy  and  as  regards  its  exact 
place  in  an  author's  work.

DRAMA 

An  index  to  the  large  collections  of  dramas 
usually  to  be  found  in  our  libraries  would 
be  a  valuable  addition  to  the  tools  of  a 
reference  librarian.  It  is  often  necessary 
for  him  to  look  up  the  author  of  a  play  whose 
title  only  is  known,  or  to  ascertain  in  what 
volume  of  the  numerous  sets  of  dramas  the 
play  can  be  found.  The  most  useful  indexes 
at  present  available  for  the  purpose  are  those 
to  be  found  in  certain  library  catalogs,  nota- 
bly those  of  the  Milwaukee  public  library 
and  the  Library  of  the  Peabody  institute. 

In  the  Catalogue  of  the  Milwaukee  public 
library  a  list  of  the  plays  to  be  found  in  col- 
lections in  that  Library  is  given  under  the 
authors  and  under  the  titles,  and  it  indexes 
such  sets  as  those  of  Lacy's  and  French's 
Acting  edition  of  plays  and  other  well- 
known  dramas. 

The  Peabody  institute  library  catalogue 
(vol.  2)  under  the  heading  Drama  gives  an 
alphabetic  list  of  single  plays,  including 
those  in  foreign  languages  as  well  as  in 
English.  This  is  continued  in  the  Supple- 
ment. The  dramatic  works  of  separate 
authors  and  many  collections  are  indexed, 
among  which  are  Dodsley's  Old  plays, 
Inchbald's  British  theatre,  Cumberland's 
British  theatre,  and  others. 

The  Catalogue  of  the  dramas  and  dramatic 
poems  contained  in  the  Cincinnati  public 
library  (192  p.  Q.  1879)  is  an  extensive  list, 
arranged  under  authors  with  title  lists  of 
English,  French,  German,  Greek,  and  Latin 
dramas.

BIOGRAPHY 

Dictionaries  of  biography  are  of  three 
kinds:  (1)  general,  (2)  national,  (3)  of  special 
classes.  Consult  first  the  national  biographic 
dictionary  in  looking  up  a  sketch  of  the  life 
of  a  person.  The  articles  are  likely  to  be 
fuller,  and  more  names  are  usually  included 
in  it.  There  are  national  biographic  dic- 
tionaries for  the  more  important  countries 
of  the  world,  of  which  only  those  in  most 
general  use  are  here  mentioned. 

General  encyclopedias  contain  some  excel- 
lent biographies.  The  Encyclopajdia  Britan- 
nica  does  not  include  names  of  hving  per- 
sons. The  biographic  articles  in  the  Now 
international  encydopsedia  are  good  and  in- 
clude contemporaries.  Larousse  is  especially 
useful  for  Europeans.  Webster's  Inter- 
national dictionary  contains  in  an  appendix 
10000  names,  giving  merely  full  name,  dates, 
and  characterization. 

In  addition  to  biographic  reference  books, 
those  cyclopedias  of  special  subjects  which 


include  lives  of  persons  famous  in  certain 
lines  must  be  consulted.  These  have  been 
described  more  fully  under  other  headings; 
e.  g.  for  painters,  Champlin  and  Perkins's 
Cyclopedia  of  painters  and  painting;  for 
musicians,  Champhn  and  Apthorp's  Cyclope- 
dia of  music  and  musicians,  and  Grove's 
Dictionary  of  music;  for  theologians,  Smith's 
Dictionary  of  the  Bible,  and  McClintock  and 
Strong's  Encyclopaedia  of  biblical,  theologi- 
cal, and  ecclesiastical  hterature,  etc. 

The  article  on  biographic  dictionaries  by 
C.  H.  Hull  in  Johnson's  universal  cyclopae- 
dia, 1  :  629,  has  some  interesting  information 
about  their  history,  with  a  list  of  the  best 
dictionaries.

Paged  continuously. 

Known  as  Lippincott's  biographical  dictionary. 

The  best  general  biographic  reference  book.  It 
gives  the  pronunciation  of  names,  sketch'es  of  lives  of 
persons,  and  bibliographic  references.  A  list  of  the 
leading  English  Christian  names,  with  their  equiva- 
lents in  the  various  European  languages,  is  given  in  an 
appendix.  In  the  introduction  the  general  principles 
of  pronunciation  of  each  of  the  more  important  Euro- 
pean and  Asiatic  languages  are  stated. 

The  third  edition  includes  some  slight  alterations  of 
the  original  plates,  which  bring  the  information  to  the 
end  of  the  nineteenth  century.  These  have  been  made 
only  when  possible  to  do  so  without  too  much  change  to 
the  articles.  New  names  have  in  the  same  manner  been 
inserted  only  where  practicable.  Full-page  portraits  have 
been  introduced.

tion respecting  the  contents  or  subjects  of  their  writ- 
ings which  adds  so  much  value  to  the  articles  in  the 
Biographie  universelle.  .  .  .  Nor  are  these  lists  so  full, 
or  compiled  with  such  accuracy,  as  those  in  the  Bio- 
graphie universelle.  In  one  point,  however,  and  that 
of  no  small  importance,  the  bibliographical  information 
of  the  Biographie  generale  is  superior  to  that  of  its

are  of  the  present  time.  Names  of  individuals  are  to

Numerous  portraits  and  plates  are  an  important

Besides  the  personal  and  topical  indexes  to  the  13 
vols,  there  are  a  large  number  of  tables  which  make  it 
of  special  value  to  the  reference  librarian.  It  con- 
tains lists  of  men  in  public  or  private  office  grouped 
under  such  heads  as:  presidents  of  the  U.  S.,  cabinet 
officers,  governors  of  states,  presidents  of  American 
universities,  presidents  of  learned  societies,  Mayflower 
passengers,  editors  of  magazines,  etc.  Besides  these 
may  be  found  lists  of  pseudonyms,  and  sobriquets, 
last  words  of  famous  Americans,  anniversary  calendar 
of  noted  events,  etc.  etc.

Volume  1  was  issued  in  1897,  with  title  Cyclopedia 
of  American  biographies.  The  later  etlition  was 
revised  but  not  sufficiently  to  make  it  necessary  to  have 
both.  Published  also  as  The  twentieth  century  bio-

$40)  with  some  corrections. 

Alphabetically  arranged.  Comparing  with  Apple- 
ton,  the  Nation  says:  "  As  to  the  matter,  l.,amb  makes 
a  nearer  approach  to  democratic  equality.  Presidents 
and  the  like  are  handled  less  extensively,  men  and 
women  of  minor  fame  more  liberally;  very  brief  notices 
are  few."     Nation,  73:12.

Published  biennially.  Condensed  sketches  of  the

identified  with  American  affairs.  The  addresses  of 
persons  are  given.  In  the  later  volumes  the  publisher

earlier  volumes  useful.

An  excellent  one  volume  summary  of  the  66  vols, 
of  the  great  Dictionary.  This  can  be  bought  separately 
and  is  worth  having  in  those  libraries  which  cannot 
afford  the  large  work.  The  Index  and  epitome  gives 
concise  biographies  of  all  the  persons  included  in  the 
Dictionary  and  refers  to  the  volume  and  page  where  the 
full  article  will  be  found.

published  in  22  vols,  instead  of  66  (N.  Y.  Macmillan,

thinner,  making  it  possible  to  put  three  vols,  of  the  old

DIRECTORIES 

The  city  directory  is  in  constant  demand 
and  should  therefore  be  in  the  most  con- 
venient place  in  the  library.  In  a  iarge  city 
it  is  important  to  include  the  business  direc- 
tory of  the  city  which  groups  together  all 
persons  engaged  in  the  same  line  of  business. 
The  Blue  book  is  also  much  used.  Large 
libraries  will  possess  in  addition  directories 
of  the  large  cities  of  this  country.  Volumes 
of  past  years  are  frequently  consulted. 

Telephone  directories  are  also  to  be  con- 
sulted for  addresses.  Those  of  large  cities 
especially  New  York  are  important. 

Various  directories  of  special  classes  of  per-

GENEALOGY 

Genealogies  constitute  a  much-used  class 
of  books  in  our  public  libraries.  In  large 
cities  historical  society  libraries  will  contain 
the  best  collections  of  genealogical  books, 
and  readers  can  be  referred  to  them.  The 
books  mentioned  here  are  among  the  best 
guides  to  the  innumerable  sources  of  infor- 
mation for  family  histories.  Some  historical 
society  libraries  have  found  it  necessary  to 
compile  card  indexes  of  local  family  history. 
As  an  example,  the  Pennsylvania  historical 
society  library  has  a  large  card  index  to 
family  histories  especially  full  for  the  middle 
states.

Bibliographies  of  individuals  are  too  nu- 
merous to  be  given  here.  Among  examples 
may  be  mentioned  the  sections  of  the  British 
museum  catalogue  relating  to  individuals, 
e.  g.  Shakespeare,  Dante,  etc.  The  Dante 
catalogue  of  the  Cornell  university  library 
is  an  elaborate  bibliography  published  in  two 
quarto  volumes. 

A  series  of  bibliographies  published  by 
Houghton,  Mifilin  &  Co.  includes  thus  far 
the  following  useful  volumes:  Bibliography 
of  Nathaniel  Hawthorne,  by  Nina  E. 
Browne  (1905),  of  James  Russell  Lowell,  by 
George  W.  Cooke  (1906),  of  Oliver  Wendell

Ralph  ^Valdo  Emerson,  by  George  W. 
Cooke  (1908) 

The  bibliographies  appended  to  the  vol- 
umes of  the  Great  writers  series  are  excellent 
for  the  authors  included.

ATLASES 

The  best  atlases  are  German.  American 
maps  are  not  so  well  made  as  foreign  maps. 
For  maps  of  the  United  States,  however,  we 
must  consult  an  American  atlas,  while  for 
those  of  foreign  covuitries  the  foreign  atlases 
are  much  better.  Even  a  small  library 
should  possess  a  German  or  English  atlas, 
and  it  is  possible  to  have  one,  because  a 
good  foreign  atlas  can  be  bought  at  a  low 
price.

GUIDE-BOOKS 

The  small  volumes  so  well  known  to  all 
travellers  as  "  Guide-Books  "  are  of  much 
assistance  in  a  reference  library.  They  are 
usually  well  indexed,  and  may  be  easily 
consulted  for  special  information  on  subjects 
not  dealt  with  fully  in  the  gazetteers  and 
other  books  of  reference.  Baedeker's  or 
Murray's  series  of  guide-books  are  in  frequent 
use  for  such  purpose.  The  latest  edition 
should  be  consulted.  There  should  be  also 
in  the  reference  hbrary  a  guide-book  of  the 
city  in  which  the  library  is  located.

GOVERNMENT  DOCUMENTS 


Before  the  54th  congress  (December,  1895) 
each  House  published  its  journal,  executive 
documents,  miscellaneous  documents,  and  re- 
ports of  committees. 

The  departments  of  the  United  States  gov- 
ernment are:  State,  Treasury,  War,  Navy, 
Justice,  Post-office,  Interior,  Agriculture, 
Commerce  and  Labor,  the  District  of  Colum- 
bia, and  several  independent  bureaus  and 
institutions.  All  of  these  issue  reports  sepa- 
rately, and  the  various  subordinate  bureaus, 
divisions,  etc.,  of  each  department  also  issue 
their  special  publications. 

Publications  of  the  national  government 
appear  in  two  forms:  first,  the  leather  (or 
sheep)  bound  set  (sheep-bound  or  congres- 
sional reserve),  which  volumes  are  commonly 
known  as  "  congressional  documents,"  in- 
cluding the  pubhcations  of  the  Senate  and  of 
the  House;  second,  the  cloth-bound  sets,  in- 
cluding reports  and  publications  of  the  sev- 
eral departments  and  their  bureaus.  The 
same  document  may  appear  in  two  or  more 
forms;  e.g.  the  Annual  report  of  the  Commis- 
sioner of  education  appears  separately  as  a 
publication  of  the  Bureau,  then  as  part  of 
the  Report  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior, 
and  again  as  one  of  the  House  documents  in 
the  series  of  congressional  documents. 

A  "depository"  library  is  one  that  is  desig- 
nated to  receive,  store,  and  keep  for  use  the 
pubhcations  of  the  United  States  government. 
In  every  large  city  or  town  there  is  usually  at 
least  one  depository  library.  Other  libraries 
may  not  aim  to  collect  all  publications  of  the 
national  government,  but  no  general  library 
however  small  can  afford  to  be  without  the 
reports  of  some  of  the  important  departments 
and  bureaus.  The  government  pubhshes 
many  valuable  documents  on  subjects  of 
general  interest.  Each  library  must  select 
what  will  be  of  most  use  to  its  readers,  and 
refer  to  the  nearest  depository  library  when 
it  has  not  the  needed  document  on  its  shelves. 
Designated  depositories  are  enumerated  in 
the  Report  of  the  Superintendent  of  Docu- 
ments, issued  separately,  and  also  in  the  Re- 
port of  the  Public  Printer. 

The  Monthly  catalogue  United  States  pub- 
lic documents  states  on  the  back  of  the  cover 
how  the  various  documents  may  be  obtained.

STATE    AND    CITY    DOCU- 
MENTS 

Large  libraries  must  have  the  reports  of 
the  departments  of  their  state  and  municipal 
governments.  These  are  issued  in  different 
ways  in  the  various  states  and  cities.  Small 
libraries  will  find  use  for  only  a  limited  num- 
ber of  these  reports,  and  need  not  collect 
other  than  those  of  their  own  city  and  state. 
Among  reports  of  general  interest  are  those 
of  the  departments  of  education,  labor,  rail- 
roads, fisheries,  and  agriculture;

The  student  of  reference  work  will  find  the  study  of  bibliography  most  essential,  inasmuch 
as  bibliographies  serve  to  guide  to  the  best  authorities  on  a  subject;  to  the  best  editions  of 
books ;  to  information  as  to  what  has  been  written  by  an  author,  or  on  a  special  subject;  to  the 
author  of  a  book  when  only  the  title  is  known ;  to  what  has  been  published  in  a  certain  country; 
to  the  price  of  a  book;  to  the  value  and  collation  of  rare  books,  and  to  much  other  important 
information. 

In  a  work  of  this  character  only  those  bibliographies  most  necessary  to  the  reference 
librarian  are  mentioned. 

For  a  general  history  of  the  subject,  consult  the  article  Bibliography  by  E.  F.  Taylor  in  the 
Encyclopaedia  Britannica,  which  gives  an  excellent  account. 

Bibliography  means  literally  the  act  or  habit  of  writing  books,  and  is  applied  to  "  the 
science  which  treats  of  books,  their  materials,  authors,  typography,  editions,  dates,  subjects, 
classification,  history,  etc."  Another  use  of  the  term  is  applied  to  "  a  classified  list  of 
authorities  or  books  on  any  theme,  as  a  bibliography  of  political  economy."  (Century 
dictionary.) 

The  term  bibliography,  which  is  now  defined  as  the  science  of  books,  was  formerly  used  to 
signify  the  description  and  deciphering  of  ancient  manuscripts,  which  science  is  now  known  as 
paleography.  De  Bure,  in  his  Bibliographic  instructive,  published  in  1763,  employed  the 
word  in  the  sense  in  which  it  has  since  been  used,  applying  it  to  printed  books. 

There  are  two  kinds  of  bibliography:  material  and  intellectual  (or  literary).  Material 
bibliography  embraces  a  description  of  a  book  according  to  its  edition,  typography,  paging,

etc.  — the  external  features;  while  intellectual  bibliography  has  to  do  with  the  contents  or 

internal  characteristics  of  the  book. 

The  subject  is  usually  divided  into  the  following  sections:  — 

General  (or  universal)  bibhography,  which  includes  bibliographies  whose  object  is  to 
enumerate  the  titles  of  books  of  every  age  and  country  and  on  all  subjects  (e.  g. 
Brunet's  Manuel  du  libraire) 

Special  bibliography,  or  subject  bibliography,  which  is  confined  to  books  on  some  particu- 
lar author  or  subject,  and  may  include  all  (complete  bibliography)  or  a  selection  (select 
bibliography)  of  the  books  on  that  subject  or  author  (e.  g.  Monroe's  Bibliography  of 
education) 

National  bibliography,  which  gives  a  record  of  books  printed  in  a  certain  country  (e.  g. 
Lowndes's  Bibliographer's  manual)  This  term  is  also  applied  to  a  list  of  books  about 
a  certain  country. 

Trade  bibliography,  which  includes  those  bibliographies  useful  in  the  purchase  of  books,  as 
giving  trade  information  (e.  g.  American  catalog  of  books) 

Bibliography  of  bibliography,  which  is  a  list  of  bibliographies  (e.  g.  Vallee's  Bibliographic 
des  bibliographies)

V.  6  of  the  Manuel  is  a  "  table  mdthodique."  Brunet's 
work  is  especially  valuable  for  the  bibliographic  details 
of  the  books  mentioned.  It  aims  to  include  the  rare 
and  precious  books  of  all  kinds  from  the  origin  of  print- 
ing. It  gives  the  history  of  different  editions,  distin- 
guishing characteristics  of  each  and  their  collation,  full 
titles,  prices  that  books  have  brought  at  auction, 
some  illustrations,  and  facsimiles.  The  arrangement 
is  alphabetic  with  a  classified  index,  and  the  sup- 
plement includes  books  not  mentioned  in  the  other 
volumes. 

It  is  probably  the  most  useful  book  of  its  kind, 
although  the  work  of  Grasse  is  considered  by  some  to 
be  more  important.  Brunet's  work  contains  entries  of 
more  books  of  French  writers  than  Grasse.

V.  7,  Supplement. 

"Covers  much  the  same  ground  as  Brunet,  but  in- 
cludes also  a  large  number  of  books  that  are  intrinsi-

Is  preferable  if  a  choice  must  be  made  between  them." 
Growoll  in  his  Bookseller's  library. 

It  is  based  on  Brunet,  but  contains  more  entries  of 
German  books;  prices  that  books  brought  at  sales  are 
given.

SUBJECT   BIBLIOGRAPHIES 

Subject  bibliographies  are  of  much  assistance  in  guiding  the  student  to  the  best  authorities. 
Of  special  importance  are  those  with  annotations,  among  the  best  examples  of  which  are  the 
bibliographies  published  by  the  American  Library  Association,  selected  and  annotated  by 
specialists.  In  many  libraries  subject  bibliographies  are  of  such  frequent  use  that  indexes  of 
them  are  made  including  those  which  appear  as  parts  of  books  and  in  Hbrary  bulletins.  It  is 
well  to  keep  the  most  commonly  used  bibliographies  near  the  catalog,  to  accustom  readers  to 
their  use.  The  titles  of  such  books  as  the  library  owns  may  be  starred  or  the  call  numbers 
written  in  the  margins. 

Many  authors  prepare  careful  lists  of  authorities  or  references  on  the  subjects  of  their  books^ 
which  are  often  most  important  in  looking  up  the  literature  of  a  subject.  The  Annual  library 
index  contains  a  list  of  the  special  bibliographies  of  each  year. 

Bibliographies  of  special  subjects  are  in  this  manual  included  under  their  subjects  with 
other  reference  books,  e.  g.  a  bibliography  of  the  ilne  arts  will  be  found  with  Cyclopedias  of  the 
fine  arts,  as  being  there  most  useful.  Only  a  few  of  the  most  important  and  commonly  used 
bibhographies  have  been  mentioned,  since  on  account  of  their  great  number  it  was  impractica- 
ble to  name  many  of  them. 

Librarians  are  frequently  called  upon  to  prepare  special  bibliographies  (called  reading  lists, 
reference  lists,  etc.)  on  topics  of  general  interest.  These  are  often  printed  in  their  Bulletins 
or  issued  separately.     See  page  117  for  lists  of  bibhographies  pubhshed  in  library  bulletins. 

The  Library  of  Congress  has  since  1898  published  many  valuable  subject  bibliographies  on 
topics  of  current  interest  in  connection  with  the  government  of  this  country.  These  are  issued 
through  its  Bibliographical  Division  and  may  be  obtained  free.  Many  of  these  lists  will  be 
found  useful  in  college  and  school  libraries  for  furnishing  references  for  debates.

CHOICE   OF  BOOKS 

Man.y  good  manuals  have  been  prepared 
which  give  hints  on  methods  and  courses  of 
reading.  These  are  often  suggestive  to  per- 
sons who  wish  to  pursue  some  definite  line  of 
study  or  reading,  without  knowing  how  to 
do  so.  Baldwin's  Book-lover,  Porter's  Books 
and  reading,  Harrison's  Choice  of  books, 
Richardson's  Choice  of  books,  Carlyle  On  the 
choice  of  books,  and  Emerson's  interesting 
chapter  on  Books  in  his  Society  and  solitude, 
may  be  mentioned  as  suggestive  aids  in  this 
direction.  More  recent  volumes  are  Koop- 
man's  Mastery  of  books  and  Spofford's  A 
book  for  all  readers.  Other  helpful  aids  are 
the  syllabi  with  bibliographies  published  by 
the  University  extension  society,  and  some 
of  those  published  by  the  University  exten- 
sion department  of  the  University  of  the 
State  of  New  York. 

Among  the  more  extensive  guides  for  the 
choice  of  books  are:  — 

Sonnenschein,  William  Swan.  Best  books; 
a  reader's  guide  to  the  choice  of  the  best 
available  books.  2d  ed.  N.  Y.  Ptitnam,

Includes  books  that  are  in  print ;  a  few  out-of-print  books 


are  given.  The  price,  size,  publisher,  and  dates  of  first 
and  last  editions  are  given  with  a  brief  characterization 
of  some  of  the  books,  and  bibliographic  notes.  The 
very  best  books  on  each  subject  are  indicated  by  stars.

Useful  in  a  librai!ry  for  many  purposes,  among  them 

(a)  as  a  guide  in  selecting  books  on  any  subject  because 
the  selection  was  made  by  many  experienced  librarians, 
and  because  the  annotations  are  in  some  cases  helpful; 

(b)  as  an  aid  in  ordering  because  the  publisher's  name 
and  price  are  given  and  because  care  was  exercised  in 
the  selection  of  editions;  (c)  in  classifying  books;  (d)  in 
the  selection  of  subject  headings;  (e)  in  ordering  printed 
catalog  cards  from  the  Library  of  Congress,  because  the 
serial  numbers  are  given.

tions.    In   order  to   make   these   important 


lists  of  use  to  the  individual  library,  it  is  well 
to  put  opposite  the  titles  in  Sargent's  Read- 
ing for  the  young  (or  others)  the  call  num- 
bers of  books  when  they  are  contained  in  the

LIBRARY  CATALOGS 
Printed  catalogs  of  libraries,  especially  of 
the  large  libraries,  are  among  the  useful  tools 
of  the  bibliographer  and  reference  librarian. 
Those  of  the  British  museum  and  Biblio- 
theque  nationale  are  important  as  general 
bibhographies.

Avery  architectural  library,  Columbia  univer- 
sity, the  Catalogue  of  the  books  relating  to 
architecture  of  the  Boston  public  library,  the 
Catalogue  of  the  Spanish  library  of  the 
Boston   public   library,    etc. 

BULLETINS 

The  Bulletin,  usually  issued  monthly,  is 
the  best  way  a  library  has  to  keep  its  readers 
informed  of  additions  to  its  collection,  and 


to  supply  to  them  reading-lists  and  reference 
lists  as  well  as  other  interesting  matter 
relating  to  books  and  the  library.  The 
expense  of  printing  the  bulletin  has  kept 
many  libraries  from  using  it  for  these  pur- 
poses. By  means  of  advertisements,  how- 
ever, the  expense  can  be  greatly  reduced,  so 
that  a  comparatively  large  number  of  libra- 
ries now  publish  bulletins.  The  bulletin  is 
useful  to  other  libraries,  especially  if  the  refer- 
ence list  is  one  of  its  features.  The  Monthly 
bulletin  of  the  Providence  public  hbrary 
was  particularly  noted  for  its  reference  Hsts 
so  admirably  carried  out  by  Mr  W.  E.  Foster. 
Other  bulletins  are:  Bulletin  of  the  Salem 
pubHc  Hbrary  (monthly),  which  pubhshes 
excellent  reading-lists  on  subjects  of  general 
interest;  those  of  the  Boston  pubhc  Hbrary, 
the  New  York  public  library,  the  Carnegie 
library  of  Pittsburg,   etc.

THE  CARD  CATALOG 
Perhaps  it  may  be  worth  while  to  empha- 
size the  importance  of  using  a  card  catalog. 
The  young  student  in  college  or  in  school 
should  be  taught  at  an  early  period  the 
general  principles  of  classification  and  the 
arrangement  and  mode  of  entry  adopted  in 
preparing  a  card  catalog  for  public  use.  He 
should  understand  how  to  look  up  a  subject 
by  means  of  the  catalog.  The  freedom  of 
the  shelves  which  is  granted  in  so  many  libra- 
ries does  not  enable  the  student  to  find  all 
the  material  on  a  subject.  The  catalog  can 
aid  him  by  means  of  its  cross-references, 
double  entries,  and  analytic  references. 
The  resources  of  the  library  on  any  subject 
cannot  be  thoroughly  exhausted  until  the 
catalog,  as  well  as  the  books  on  the  shelves, 
b^ss  been  examined. 


SUGGESTIVE   LIST   OF   100   EEFEEENCE   BOOKS 

The  selection  of  the  most  important  reference  books  for  a  small  library  is  often  difficult  to  Diake, 
depending  as  it  must  upon  the  amount  of  money  available,  which  often  is  too  limited  to  buy  even 
the  essential  works  of  reference.  While  the  selection  depends  also  upon  the  character  of  the  library, 
there  are  still  many  books  which  are  necessary  to  every  library.  No  library,  however  small  and 
whatever  its  character,  can  be  complete  without  a  dictionary,  an  encyclopedia,  an  atlas,  and  a  bio- 
graphic dictionary. 

To  assist  in  selecting  for  a  small  public  library,  a  suggestive  list  of  the  first  one  hundred  reference 
books  is  offered.  It  must  be  remembered,  as  stated  before,  that  these  books  can  often  be  bought 
for  less  than  the  published  price,  at  auction  or  second-hand.  Many  important  works  of  reference 
are  published  by  the  government  and  can  be  obtained  free,  e.  g.  the  Statistical  abstract.  Census 
reports,  Review  of  the  world's  commerce,  etc.  The  titles  are  given  to  a  certain  extent  in  the  order 
of  usefulness  of  the  books.  It  is  comparatively  simple  to  mention  the  first  ten  reference  books,  but 
after  that  the  choice  becomes  more  and  more  difficult,  influenced  as  the  librarian  must  be  by  the 
desire  to  cover  as  many  subjects  as  possible.  The  personal  estimate  of  a  reference  book  based  upon 
experience  and  habit  will  always  influence  in  its  selection.  Therefore  the  following  list  is  not 
claimed  to  be  the  best  possible,  but  it  may  be  helpful  to  some  who  find  difficulty  in  selecting  reference 
books.  Other  lists  are  mentioned  in  the  list  of  Books  and  articles  upon  reference  books  at  the  begin- 
ning of  this  volume.    • 

American  reference  books  have  been  preferred  to  foreign  in  some  cases  where  the  foreign  books 
are  better,  but  it  is  thought  that  in  American  libraries  an  American  book  is  on  the  whole  more  use- 
ful where  only  one  book  on  a  subject  can  be  bought.  In  such  cases  as  the  gazetteer  and  the  atlas, 
the  information  in  foreign  works  is  not  sufficiently  full  in  American  names.

INDEX 


The  index  lias  been  made  as  full  as  practicable  in  order  tliat  the  reference  books  may  be  more  readily  used  by 
persons  who  have  had  little  experience  in  looking  up  information  in  them.  It  includes,  besides  topics  referred 
to  in  the  text,  many  subjects  of  general  interest  to  be  found  in  the  books  of  reference  mentioned  in  this  manual, 
such  as  state  seals,  state  flowers,  coats  of  arms,  consuls,  election  returns,  etc. 

While  it  is  obviously  impossible  to  make  a  complete  analytic  index  to  the  contents  of  reference  books,  there  are 
still  a  number  of  subjects  which  it  is  convenient  to  locate  quickly,  and  which  are  diificult  to  find  without  a  thor- 
ough knowledge  of  these  books.  ^
